Klickitat County Emergency Management 911/Dispatch
 KLICKITAT CO. — Klickitat County is establishing a ban on open outdoor burning for Burn Ban Zone One, defined as lands East of the Klickitat County Fire District 7 eastern boundary to include but not limited to Klickitat County Fire Districts 2, 9 and 10; outside the jurisdiction of the Yakama Indian Nation; and the jurisdiction of the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission and prohibiting the issuance of burning permits, except for authorized agricultural burning.
Residential barbecues will be allowed. At the discretion of the fire chief, Fire Protection Districts are exempt from this ban for the purposes of live fire training activities. This ban on open outdoor burning shall be in full force and effect from May 20 until rescinded.
The public is directed to check with appropriate authorities about burning restrictions within the corporate limits of any city or town.
In 2018, Klickitat County Department of Emergency Management (KCDEM), in cooperation with the Klickitat County Interagency Fire Association (KCIFA), created new County Burn Ban Zone designations for establishing County open outdoor burn bans.
This consists of three zones across the county starting in the east with Zone One, then Zone Two covering the central area and Zone Three covering the county's west end. For clarity, the zone boundaries follow fire district boundaries as much as possible. Maps of the zone boundaries are available to view and download on the KCDEM webpage.
Information for Klickitat County Burn Ban Zones 2 and 3 will be released as soon as the 2024 dates are finalized.
